- Recycle town made using cereal boxes, scissors, markers, and tape from No Time for Flashcards. Allie even includes books and a song to go along with this activity!
- Make a marble run using old toilet paper rolls as shown at Adventures of a Flake. I’ve seen toilet paper roll marble runs before, but I love the stability of this one since the rolls are taped to the wall (use painting tape to protect walls), and the idea of adding cups to catch the marbles is also great!
- Made By K shows how to make a cardboard castle, and then how to turn said cardboard castle into a puppet theater!

I'm starting to catch the vision of making recycled crafts with kids. I LOVE the marble run! That is just too cool. I can see why kids would love playing with that.
lovely ideas. thanks for sharing.
i am going to try the puppet theatre for my goddaughter. why not share the recycled crafts, right? :)
Great links here! Loving that marble run too! :-) Of course, I'm a huge fan of using recycled materials.
I love all of these ideas, especially the aquarium, and the marble run is a fantastic idea!
